Gandalf is to Volúspa (Song of the Sybill) as Guthlàf is to _______________ ???

***Sharkû*** · 12-03-2001, 03:45 PM

Hehe, been a while since I visited the Quiz Room, but I couldn't resist such a summon.

I have to admit the name only rang a bell in regard to the song of the Mounds of Mundburg. But since it is Anglo-Saxon or Old English in origin, I figured it might be in Beowulf, so I searched my -- to my own shame, yet unread -- version of it and found it there. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Turambar · 12-04-2001, 08:51 AM

Yep, I thought that was interesting, JRRT "borrowing" from Beowulf.

UNREAD ???!! You gotta read it, oh Age Impaired One. There's also an "audio book version" of the recent translation (Seamus Heaney I think the translator's name is). You can listen to Beowulf in the car !

Joy · 02-16-2002, 05:47 PM

It has been more than 7 days, so I guess I'll post one.

Tinuviel is to Beren as Undomiel is to _____?

Legolas · 02-16-2002, 06:19 PM

Aragorn.

Joy · 02-16-2002, 06:25 PM

Correct! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Your turn

Legolas · 02-16-2002, 08:00 PM

Here goes...

Theoden:Herugrim::Fingolfin:______

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-16-2002, 08:30 PM

Ringil!

Legolas · 02-16-2002, 08:52 PM

Good work Bruce.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-16-2002, 09:05 PM

Fram:Scatha, Turin:______

Legolas · 02-16-2002, 11:24 PM

Glaurung!

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 12:22 AM

That would be the one!

Legolas · 02-17-2002, 12:23 PM

Fingolfin:Rochallor::_________:Felaróf

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 01:15 PM

Eorl the Young

Legolas · 02-17-2002, 01:17 PM

Yup.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 01:30 PM

Glamdring:Orcrist :: Anglachel:_______

Joy · 02-17-2002, 01:51 PM

Anguirel

Glamdring and Orcist were mate swords as were Anglachel and Anguirel.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 05:40 PM

Very nice, Joy.
The floor is yours.

Joy · 02-17-2002, 05:53 PM

Beleg:Turin :: Elendil:______

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 06:00 PM

Gil-galad?

Joy · 02-17-2002, 06:30 PM

Not quite. Think later in time.

Telchar · 02-18-2002, 02:37 AM

Sauron?

Legolas · 02-18-2002, 03:52 PM

Elrond?

Joy · 02-18-2002, 10:05 PM

Nope and nope. Have I made one too hard????

Hint: think of what they possesed.

Watcher in the Water · 02-19-2002, 12:57 AM

Aragorn

Joy · 02-19-2002, 01:15 AM

Finally! Watcher in the Water has it.

Beleg first wielded the sword that Turin had reforged and wielded and also Elendil wielded Narsil that was later forged into Anduril, Aragorn's sword.

Watcher in the Water · 02-20-2002, 11:16 PM

Ok - this could be slightly obscure...

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-20-2002, 11:57 PM

Denethor?

Joy · 02-21-2002, 12:00 AM

I'm just thinking that Ted is Sam's nemisis at first as Boromir is Aragorn's at the Counsil of Elrond.

Joy · 02-21-2002, 12:01 AM

Boromir??
